Ways of Obtaining Taboo Information about Drugs by Addicts in Czechoslovakia
Poštolková, Lucie ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the transmission of information about hard drugs which were concealed by social system in the 70th and 80th of 20th century from perspectives of drug users. We focus on the problematics of informational sources and channels by means of the social system and the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann. We analyse, by using grounded theory, information environment which influenced the drug subculture. The data sources consist of 35 interviews with addicts who were actively taking hard drugs before 1989. The aim of this thesis is a comprehensive look at the functioning of the drug subculture, transmission of taboo information in society 70th and 80th of 20th century by the theory of social capital and social systems.

Spatial and temporal scales of atmospheric dynamics

DOCTORAL THESIS Nikola Jajcay Spatial and temporal scales of atmospheric dynamics Abstract Earth climate, in general, varies on many temporal and spatial scales. In particular, climate observables exhibit recurring patterns and quasi- oscillatory phenomena with different periods. Although these oscillations might be weak in amplitude, they might have a non-negligible influence on variability on shorter time-scales due to cross-scale interactions, recently observed by Paluš[1]. This thesis supplies an introductory material for inferring the cross-scale information transfer from observational data, where the time series of interest are obtained using wavelet transform, and possible information transfer is studied using the tools from information theory. Finally, cross- scale interactions are studied in two climate phenomena: air temperature variability in Europe, in which we study phase-amplitude coupling from a slower oscillatory mode with an 8-year period on faster variability and its effects, and El Niño/ Southern Oscillation where we observe a causal chain of phase-phase and phase-amplitude couplings among distinct oscillatory modes.

Komunikace a vedení lidí v Sekci řízení operačních programů na MŠMT
Tomešová, Světlana ; Surynek, Alois (advisor) ; Franková, Emilie (referee)
The work is dedicated to problems of communication in a selected organization. The author decided to limit the work on the information transmission within one section in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The reason for selecting the organization is the importance of educational issues and the special position of the section within the ministry. The main objective of this work is to describe and subsequent analysis of communication within the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, both in the selected section as well as the relationship between that section and other departments at the ministry, or between the Section and external entities . The work is divided into three parts: theoretical, practical and proposal. Part of the thesis is own research and proposals for measures which may lead to better results (higher awareness) in communication.
